Just Us Girls #458 - Color Week

I'm the host for Just Us Girl's Color Week and I've chose these colors:
I had in mind what I wanted to do when I chose the colors - to use my Altenew Hibiscus.
I had the flowers already stamped and thought I'd use green as my color choice when I realized I had yellow in the center of the flowers.  Okay, plan B.  I stamped the leaves in three shades of Altenew gray.  I used a background stamp with VersaMark Dazzle to give some dimension to the Smoke cs and stamped the N&T sentiment in one of the grays. 

I can't wait to see how you use these colors.  If you make a card you may be chosen Chic of the Week and be eligible to be our guest designer in November.  Why not give it a try.

This is beautiful! I love the softness of the Versamark on the background and your flowers are gorgeous! Love the colors you chose for our challenge this week.

The flowers look stunning against the dark grey background. The tone on tone stamping gives it just the right amount of interest without being overpowering. I think it was lucky that you used yellow on the stamens, think it works better this way.
By the way I lost track of the number of times I ad to stamp the large background stamp to get the coverage! :)
